Allegations that a taxi driver overcharged a Taiwanese tourist nearly tenfold for a ride to Incheon International Airport sparked online debate.
The tourist posted a photo of the receipt on Threads, warning others about their experience when leaving the country on Tuesday.
"Do not take a taxi unless you are prepared to pay 690,800 won ($445) for taxi fare," the tourist wrote.
Earlier that morning, the tourist traveled from eastern Seoul to the airport using the ride-hailing app Uber. The estimated fare was 70,800 won, which the tourist planned to pay through the app.
